That's impressive. What's your barrel's spec? Do you have it specially throated for the 208 AMAX? Most WSM I know can only take up to 190 grains. </div></div>

The reamer was designed to a minimum SAAMI Spec and does have a long lead in the throat. Tom Sarver of Thunder Valley Precision Rifle came up with the exact specs and had the reamer made. 65gr of H4350, Norma brass and CCI BR-2 primer 3074 fps.

Re: Your farthest hits ever?

I haven't had much of a chance to do any really long range stuff, but I have what is MY best with a rifle and a pistol. Both of these are not super human by any means, but it is still MY personal best to date.

3" styrofoam cup, 175 yards, Glock .40S&W, 2 shots back to back hits (no sighters), witnessed by my good friend Kirk, it was his pistol.

12"x18" steel plate, 400 yards, FN-SPRA1 .308 (Jezebel, sold to a Hide Member), 3 shots back to back hits (no sighters), witnessed by me and the birds flyin by and one very pissed off coyote, 1-3/8" group.

Hopefully with my new stick and bein here in Colorado with some longer range capabilities, all of this will improve a bit.

Re: Your farthest hits ever?

Best group of my life:

300WM- reworked PSS (basically the same thing as HateCa's Maverick package plus bedding, trigger work and a few other things)
515 yards
3 rounds with about 2 minutes between each shot...

Measured .86" CTC.....I will more than likely NEVER do that again but I did have a group that was about sub 1.5" for 5 shots at 515 yards....and have made plenty of sub 2" groups at 515....(the range I shoot at has a max distance of 515 yards if you were wondering)

well i once drove 12hrs straight to hit it... </div></div>

Maybe once upon a time but, these days, I'd just spank it before I'd drive 12 hours, whether that's round trip or one way, doesn't matter.

I have a friend, however, who has flown halfway around the world for it and given up a nice-paying military contractor job because of it and this is after getting out of a nearly 20-year marriage. You'd think that he would have learned by now...

Steel: 980yds 12"x12" Remmy 700p .308 4.5-14Mk4 178g AMAX mine
Steel 1250yds 12"x12" Remmy in .338LM 300g my buddies rifle

We wanted to set up targets up to 2000yds but it was uneven terrain and 3 mile + walks out and back were becoming less and less fun. Also it was quickly coming close to beer thirty.

Furthest hit was 350 yards with a 308 and a 300 RUM on a 8"x8" steel target

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bohem</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What caliber Donut? </div></div>

.308 - 175gr SMK, 43.0gr Varget.

There were targets at 850 and 1000 as well, but between the wind, my scope going wonky, and my level of n00bness, I couldn't seem to get a consistent POI past 750.

Re: Your farthest hits ever?

1k with my .308 and .280AI on steel nothing to brag about really.

Went shooting with a friend this week and we got out to 500yds. with his Tompson Encore .260 pistol. Shooting 10" plates and 2 litter bottles @ 300 yds and 20" plate @ 500yds. Off of sand bags of course.

Never messed with pistols like that before ........very impressive.

Re: Your farthest hits ever?

The shot I'm most proud of wasn't all that far but it was a tough shot for me anyway. Headshot on a running bobcat at 185 yards. Suprised the shit out of me!!

Re: Your farthest hits ever?

Hopefully there are a few guys here that have taken the same class to back up what I'm about to say, because I've had a few people straight out call me a liar.

At the end of one of the PR classes I took we shot 4" clay pigeons that were propped up on the back stop while laying prone at 1000. I won't tell you how many shots I fired before scoring my first hit though....I would like for someone to be atleast mildly impressed that I did this, and If I told you the round count...you wouldn't.

The most surprising that I have made, wasn't a long one either. I am a horrible shot with a shotgun( and I do mean HORRIBLE) and we were out dove hunting some years back. I carry a S&W 686 anytime I was out hunting just for shooting rabbits or rats or whatever. We were along the Brazos river and it was hot out and there were no dove flying at all, and the few we had seen I had missed every one. This one dove came flying down the river headed towards us from the left...I started shooting...and had emptied my shotgun without so much as scaring that bird. As the bird passed by me and my friend, I pulled out that 686 and fired 3 quick shots at it. On the third report, that bird exploded into a cloud of feathers at about 30-35 yards. This was about 14 years ago and me and my buddy still crack up about it when we think of it.

Re: Your farthest hits ever?

Javalina @ 720 yds. with a 6BR.
A few hogs between 400 and 500 with a 280 AI
Colorado Mule Deer @ 360 with 300 Win. Mag.
Chicken silhouette at 1000 with 6.5-284 and 6BRX.

Ohhh, almost forgot, shot a 1" X 1" square of ground at 1.5 miles with a 22LR, if you don't believe me, look on the box, it will go that far!!!!
